Christmas trees are perhaps one of the most recognizable symbols of the holidays. Make your fir stand out by infusing it with personality and intimate family moments. What do I mean? Xmas decorations are not about being proper and expensive. Cut out special milestones, attach notes and embellishments to it and hang them on the tree. String up pictures with personal trinkets with pretty ornaments and wind them around the tree.

Get some of those little christmas trees; decorate it with candy canes, colorfully wrapped chocolate treats and the like. You will be smothered with kisses by visiting nephews and nieces for sure.

Do not forget to leave your stockings by the chimney. If you have no fireplace to hang them on, put them by the wall or stairwell"prominently displayed so Santa wont have a hard time looking around for them. Tie pretty silk ribbons and flowers by the windows and lamps. Oh and before I forget, buy your mistletoes and keep them in a strategic spot by the doorway.

If you have some extra time in your hands, how about doing homemade Xmas decorations yourself? Its really not that hard. In fact, play some holiday tunes and youll even have fun while youre at it. The money you save is another upside too. Make little baskets filled with holiday goodies and weave sprays of mistletoes and lace on its handles. You can also attach bells and shiny balls in stockings, or miniature figurines or patterned fabric.

Especially if you have a wide and spacious front lawn, you have so many things you can do. Dont worry; it need not even be expensive or too solemn. Have fun with it! Make wooden cutouts and spray paint them with glitter. Buy those large Styrofoam balls and put them together to make a party of crazy snowmen living it up in your front yard.
